Ranma is one of those series that is really hard to dislike, truly another one of Takahashi-sama's masterpieces. I have never met anyone who didn't fall in love with it after the first episode. If you like comedy, you'll like it. If you like utterly ridiculous situations that could only happen in anime, you'll like it. If you like series that have a bunch of hot chicks(and one toooootally UNCUTE one) 
fighting over over a guy, you'll like it. And even if that isn't enough for you, there's enough slapstick comedy in it to satisfy anybody. If you don't like Ranma you probably like violence and not anime. There isn't a whole lot of blood, and the fighting is there to advance storylines and develop characters, not for the sake of senseless violence. There's fighting in almost every episode I've seen, but it's more for slapstick comedy than blood and guts. Bottom line, buy seasons 1 and 2 and if you just don't get it you'll be the first. Ranma is what I use to introduce newbies to anime due to it's ability to successfully blend many genres and it's incredibly broad appeal.
